Abstract: A silicone-type benzophenone derivative represented by Formula 1 below, an ultraviolet light absorbent and an endermic liniment which contains it. The silicone-type benzophenone derivative of the present invention exhibits a superior ability to absorb UV-A and UV-B and is compatible with silicone-type bases.

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a new silicone-type benzophenone derivative as well as an ultraviolet light absorbent and an endermic liniment using same, and more particularly to a new silicone-type benzophenone derivative which highly dissolves in silicone oil, has superior water resistance and oil resistance, and also has ultraviolet light absorption characteristics with an absorption wavelength in the UV-AB region. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Ultraviolet light is known to cause various changes in skin. In dermatology, the wavelength spectrum is divided into the long wavelength ultraviolet light region, i.e. 400-320 nm, the medium wavelength ultraviolet light region, i.e. 320-290 nm, and the short wavelength ultraviolet light region, i.e. 290 nm or less. These regions are referred to as UV-A, UV-B and UV-C, respectively. Usually, most of the ultraviolet light which people are exposed to is from sunlight. The part of the ultraviolet light which reaches the earth comprises UV-A and UV-B, while UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and very little of it reaches the earth. Of the ultraviolet light which reaches the earth, UV-B is known to cause erythema and blisters and accelerate formation of melanin when the skin is irradiated by more than a certain quantity, while UV-A is known to darken the skin immediately after the irradiation and also to enhance the skin-degradating action of UV-B. UV-A is important in terms of prevention of the development and aggravation of liver spots and freckles. However, research on the action of UV-A on the skin started relatively recently, and only dibenzoylmethane derivatives are known as UV-A absorbents. Benzophenone derivatives are known as UV-AB absorbents which have absorption bands covering both UV-A and UV-B regions. For the base for endermic liniments, silicone-type bases such as dimethylpolysiloxane are widely used. This is largely because the silicone-type bases are easy to use, i.e. they spread well, give a refreshing feeling and are not sticky, and also because of their superior functioning, i.e. they are not washed away easily by perspiration or water. However, the existing UV-A, UV-B and UV-AB absorbents have very low compatibility with the silicone-type bases. Therefore, in order to blend them into an endermic liniment with the silicone-type bases, it was necessary to add an oil base. This made it difficult to fully utilize the advantages of the silicone-type bases described above. Due to this problem, development of an ultraviolet absorbent which is soluble in silicone oil and superior in terms of water resistance and oil resistance, and at the same time gives sufficient protection against ultraviolet light, has been strongly desired. FR-A-2 657 351 discloses organosilicon compounds having a benzophenone group, which are soluble in silicone oils and absorb ultraviolet light. WO-A-93 10 745 relates to a cosmetic oil containing an ultraviolet filter in the form of at least one organopolysiloxane having a group derived from benzylidene-camphor, benzalmalonate, benzophenone or benzotriazole. JP-A-04 217 622 relates to cosmetics containing benzophenone silicones as UV absorbers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventors had discovered a silicone-type cinnamic acid derivative(s) which, was a highly safe UV-B absorbent with a high solubility in silicone oil and superior water resistance and oil resistance, and filed a patent application for it (Japanese application Serial No. Tokogan Sho 63-168838). The inventors carried out further research for the purpose of obtaining an ultraviolet light absorbent (UV-AB absorbent) with a high solubility in silicone oil and superior water resistance and oil resistance as well as an appropriate UV-AB wavelength region, and discovered that the silicone-type benzophenone derivative(s) of the present invention have the desired aforementioned characteristics. That is, the silicone-type benzophenone derivative and the ultraviolet light absorbent of the present invention are represented by the following Formula 2: According to the present invention, an excellent endermic liniment contains said silicone-type benzophenone derivative. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is an ultraviolet absorption spectrum of the compound of Formula 2 in an ethanol solvent according to the present invention. The details of the present invention are described below. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The silicone-type benzophenone derivative according to the present invention can be synthesized by a conventional hydrosilylation reaction using a corresponding benzophenone derivative. That is, the corresponding benzophenone derivative, 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane and a conventional catalyst, such as a rhodium complex, a platinum complex with an unsaturated compound, chloro-platinic acid and a platinum complex carried by carbon, are reacted in an organic solvent such as toluene, xylene or hexane under atmospheric pressure at 50°C or a temperature lower than the boiling point of the solvent until the Si-H groups are gone to obtain the silicone-type benzophenone derivative of the present invention.

EXAMPLES Details of the present invention are described below by showing synthesis examples of the silicone-type benzophenone derivative of the present invention and its physico-chemical properties. The present invention is not limited to these examples. Synthesis Example 2.79 g of a benzophenone derivative ( 1 ) and 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane (hereafter abbreviated as "MHM") ( 2 ) were dissolved in 100 ml of toluene, and chloro-platinic acid was added as a catalyst. The mixture was heated and stirred at the refluxing temperature for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, a conventional treatment was conducted and, by means of silica gel column chromatography (silica gel C-300, toluene eluent), 5.52 g of the target compound, the silicone-type benzophenone derivative represented by Formula 2, was obtained (yield 50.9%). It was in a colorless liquid form. The reaction formula is shown below in Formula 3. The compound was identified using the following analytic values: 1 H-NMR (CDCl 3 ) 12.60 (1H, OH, s), 7.50 (6H, arom., m), 6.50 (1H, arom., s), 6.40 (1H, arom., d), 4.40 (2H, CH2, t), 4.20 (2H, CH2, t), 2.57 (1H, CH (Me), m), 1.18 (3H, CH ( Me ), d), 0.80 (2H, CH2, m), -0.01 (18H, OSiMe3 x 2, s), -0.05 (3H, SiMe, s) A UV absorption spectrum in ethanol is shown in Figure 1. As shown above, the silicone-type benzophenone derivative according to the present invention has a superior absorption in the UV-AB wavelength region. As for solubility in a silicone base, the solubility testing in dimethylpolysiloxane and methylphenylpolysiloxane was conducted at 25°C. In both cases, 50 wt% or more dissolved, indicating an excellent solubility. On the other hand, 2-hydroxybenzophenone, which has a similar structure, was hardly soluble at all. As for the water resistance and oil resistance, the silicone-type benzophenone derivative of the present invention was mixed in water, 50% ethanol and oil, such as liquid paraffin, followed by agitation. The mixtures were then let stand for 60 days at 50°C. No hydrolysis or such was observed, indicating excellent water resistance and oil resistance. The silicone-type benzophenone derivative of the present invention does not have any problems in terms of safety regarding sensitization, mutagenicity, photo-sensitization and photo-toxicity, and is safe under heat (including hydrolysis). For stability against light, it is completely stable when irradiated by normal sunlight, and thus is an excellent UV-AB absorbent.

Comparative Example 4 The product was obtained in the same manner as in Example 4 except for the fact that (4) was excluded. The ultraviolet light blocking effect was measured for Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 obtained as described above. The ultraviolet light blocking effect was measured using the ultraviolet light sensitive composition described below. The ultraviolet light blocking effect was measured using the ultraviolet light sensitive composition described in Japanese unexamined patent publication (Tokkai) Sho 62-112020. The process of preparing the ultraviolet light sensitive composition is described below. A solution comprising 1.0 g of leuco crystal violet, 10 g of tetrabromodimethylsulfone, 10 g of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and 100 ml of toluene is prepared and used as "solution I". Separately, a solution comprising 7 g of N,N-dimethylparaamino-2-ethylhexyl benzoate, 10 g of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and 100 ml of toluene is prepared and used as "solution II". First, Solution I is applied on a sheet of photographic base paper and dried such that the density is 1 g/m2 solid. On top of this, Solution II is applied such that the density is 5 g/m2 solid to obtain the ultraviolet light sensitive composition. This ultraviolet light sensitive composition is a sheet of paper which changes its color from white to light purple to purple to deep purple as the quantity of the ultraviolet light it has been exposed to increases. 40 mg of the sample to be measured is mixed in castor oil and uniformly dispersed using a roller. A transparent PET film is placed on top of a round piece of said ultraviolet light sensitive composition with a 5 cm diameter, and 1.5 g of the mixture is applied on it such that the thickness is uniform. This is irradiated by an ultraviolet light source for 8 minutes and the PET with the sample on it is removed. A Hitachi spectrophotometer is used to measure the color of the ultraviolet light sensitive composition which has been irradiated with the ultraviolet light. The color difference is calculated by means of the LAB coordinates method with the color of the composition with zero ultraviolet dosage as the reference. The results are shown in Table 1. Color difference Example 1 23 Comparative Example 1 58 Example 2 36 Comparative Example 2 45 Example 3 40 Comparative Example 3 57 Example 4 30 Comparative Example 4 52 As shown in Table 1, the color differences for the Examples are smaller than the color differences for the Comparative Examples, indicating a higher ultraviolet blocking effect. This means that a superior ultraviolet light blocking effect can be obtained by blending the silicone-type benzophenone derivative of the present invention.
